„Manufacturing consent“, as Noam Chomsky has described it with regards to media. How many areas can you think of where the public is misled. „Yeah, sugar is not to blame.“ or „Smoking does not cause cancer.“ or „You need to eat meat for good health.“ These opininons are pushed by powerful media conglomerates. But not only health-wise: Think Ukraine war, Gaza (portraying them constantly as aggressors, the other side as defenders), environment (still lots of people deny environmental changes), harmfulness of weapons in the US, and so much more.
